This is enough to make the blood of every Su Guo soldier spurt!

Seeing that the morale was available, Zhu Ao was very happy, waved his hand, and shouted at the guards beside him: "Bring people up!" ”

"Let's go! Hurry up! Be honest! The four guards then pushed out two men who had been tied up by the flowers. There was a lot of blood on both of them, and their clothes were even torn, and it was obvious that they had been tortured.

These two men were Uighur spies caught by the people under the command two days ago, and when they were pulled out at this time, they must have sacrificed their heads to the flag.

Sacrificing flags has been a rule of war since ancient times, and the ancients seemed to think that seeing some blood before the war would greatly help their luck, and they thought that God was good for this. In addition, this bloody scene seems to stimulate the bloodthirsty desire in the hearts of the soldiers, helping them to fight hard to kill the enemy.

The two Uighur spies were still writhing and struggling, as if they were very unwilling to be caught, Zhu Ao did not talk to them, waved his hand, glared at the soldiers, and said, "Kill!" ”

The two bloody human heads were immediately cut off, showing the whole army, and the bloodthirsty desire of the soldiers of the Su State was really stimulated, everyone held their chests up, held back the strength of their whole bodies, and shouted at the top of their voices: "Wan Sheng!" Wansheng! ”

Looking at the 110,000 army whose morale was skyrocketing, Zhu Ao's heart was very happy, this battle must be won, not only for the king himself, but also for the future of the group of people below and their children, the pride in his chest rose sharply, and he felt that his whole body seemed to be full of strength, and he had the confidence to defy everything, he waved his hand and shouted: "Open up!" ”

"Woooooo The sound of horns resounded in the sky above Dunhuang City, and then there were bursts of drums that vibrated the hearts of every soldier and completely ignited their passion. The 110,000 Su troops, led by their respective commanders, turned around and headed north in an orderly manner, heading straight for their target, Hami.

If you want to enter the northern Xinjiang, Hami is a must-pass place, and even when the technology is so developed in later generations, they will take this route, so Zhu Ao has no other choice, but what he never expected is that Nahuri, the king of Hami, regretted it last night.

The reason for the repentance was that one of his little wives blew the wind in his ears, saying that last night, because of the tension in the war on the front line, the reinforcements in the rear had not arrived, and he was very anxious, and he couldn't lift his spirits when he was affectionate to his little wife, which made his little wife very depressed, and asked dissatisfiedly: "King, you haven't been intimate with your concubine for a few days, and you have snubbed your concubine like this." ”

King Nami waved his hand impatiently, sighed heavily, and said, "Now that my Hami is in danger, and my survival is in the mist, where is this king still in the mood to deal with you." ”

That little wife is also interesting, knowing that the most important thing in her man's mind is always his country, the little wife can be found again if she is gone, if the country is gone, who will give it to you in vain? He pouted and said, "It's all to blame for the Uighurs who killed that day, whether we marry a princess or not is our freedom, and they dare to raise troops to rob it?" ”

The king of Hami suddenly gave her a blank look, and educated her angrily, saying, "What do you know? The importance between countries has always been strength, who reasoned with you, if this king has strength, then he will definitely marry the daughter of their khan. Fortunately, the reinforcements from the Su Kingdom are coming soon, and as long as we hold out until tomorrow, when the reinforcements come to Hami, we can join forces to defeat the Uighurs. ”

Who knew that his little concubine immediately became anxious when she heard this, sat up from the bed with a "poof", and regardless of her naked body, shook the white rabbit on her chest, and said angrily: "What? You want to let the army of Su enter Hami City? ”

"How can you save Turpan if you don't enter Hami City? Are you getting more and more confused? Hami King Nahuli didn't care to admire her springy body, and said angrily.

"I think you are old and confused, since ancient times, it is easy to please God and it is difficult to send God, you let the army of Su Guo enter Hami City, so what if they don't leave here? What's more, what if they take the opportunity to capture Hami? Do you still have room for your old bones and concubines? The little wife slapped Nahuri on the chest angrily, and secretly said that you old fellow has been shrewd all his life, why did you get confused like this at this time.

After her reminder, Hami King Nahuli suddenly realized, sat up from the bed with a "poof", patted his little wife's face with a frightened expression, and said happily: "My good girl, this king almost caused a big disaster, fortunately you reminded me." ”

The little wife sneered very proudly, played with her hair with her hand, twisted her seductive delicate body, and said proudly: "Look, the fortune teller said that I have good luck, and I am not wrong." You are blessed to marry me. ”

King Hami smiled, pulled her into his arms, and a pair of boring big hands began to touch up and down, frowning and thinking while touching: "What you said makes sense, but this king has already told King Su." If nothing else, they will be in the city tomorrow. ”

"Then you hurry up and change it, isn't there still a day and a night? If they enter the city, it will be too late, and you, the king, will be meat on the board. The concubine said anxiously. Obviously, everything she has depends on King Hami, and if King Hami is finished, then she will be nothing, although she is confident in her beauty, but who can guarantee that the new master will definitely take a fancy to herself? What's more, the news of King Su and Di Linaza is spreading, and most of them will not look down on themselves at that time.

King Nahuri nodded heavily and said, "You are right, it's not too late to make amends. Then he put on his clothes and got out of bed, and shouted at the attendant at the door: "Someone! ”

When one of the attendants on night heard the shouts of Nahuri, the king of Hami, he immediately pushed the door in, knelt on the ground, and said respectfully, "May I ask what the king commands?" ”

King Na Huli hurriedly picked up his pen, wrote a few lines on the paper that had already been spread out beside him, and said: "Go and find the deputy prime minister who can speak well, and ask him to take this letter to the Su Kingdom, and be sure to give him this letter when the King of Su arrives at the city of Hami." ”

"Slaves obey!" The attendant took the letter with both hands, put it close to his bosom, and then bowed respectfully to Nahuri king of Hami, and hurried out to deliver the letter to the deputy prime minister's house.

The deputy prime minister of Hami also happened to be having a relationship with the concubine, but when he received this letter, he immediately lost interest, because he realized the seriousness of the matter, and no one was in the mood to think about it at this time, and the most important thing was his life.

The deputy prime minister immediately sorted out his clothes, ordered his subordinates to prepare horses, and prepared to go out of the city and go straight to Dunhuang. The little wife of the deputy prime minister snorted angrily, and said with a look of dissatisfaction: "What are you going to do?" I won't let you go, I won't let you go. ”

While getting dressed, the deputy prime minister explained bitterly: "Oh, my little ancestor, this matter is not trivial, it is related to your master and my life, and I still have to go." ”

"What's so important, can't you wait until dawn to go? Do you want to meet that leprechaun again? The deputy prime minister's little wife reacted instantly, threw the pillow on the ground, and asked in a throat.

"Where did you think of going? The king just sent an attendant to give me a decree, I want to go to the country, this is a major event related to our worth of future. After that, he finally fastened his belt and went out without looking back.

With a "duang" sound, the deputy prime minister's little wife smashed the pillow on the door and shouted loudly: "Let's go, let's go." Don't come back if you're gone. After speaking, he brushed the floor and lay down on the bed, covered his head with the quilt, and continued to sleep with a sulking breath.

Two days after Zhu Ao left Dunhuang with his team, he met the envoy group led by Deputy Prime Minister Hami. After the deputy prime minister of Hami saw Zhu Ao's banner, he immediately said to the elementary school of Suguo, who came to block their way: "We are Hami's envoys, and we have come to ask to see King Su. ”

Su Guo's primary school was also a member of Zhu Ao's big break Hami back then, and they played with one enemy and four of them that year, and they had a full sense of glory, especially for the Hami people, and immediately threw a sentence at the deputy prime minister who didn't know how many levels higher than him: "You are waiting here!" ”

Then, the horse came to Zhu Ao's side, and he clasped his fists on the horse and saluted: "The last general will see the king." King Qiqi, Hami's envoys asked to see him. ”

"Oh?" Zhu Ao asked curiously, "What is Hami sending an envoy to do at this time?" Then he thought about it for a while, his heart was not good, Hami didn't want to change the hexagram, he collected his thoughts, put on a majestic appearance and said to the Su Guo Elementary School: "Let him come over." ”

"Yes." Colonel Su Guo gave a military salute on his horse, then turned around and left, came to the side of Deputy Prime Minister Hami, and said in a sparkling voice: "Come with me." ”

Hami's deputy prime minister nodded and smiled at this Su Guo Xiao Colonel, and obediently followed behind him, although his level was much higher than this Xiao Colonel, but after all, Hami was now asking Su Guo, plus he brought very bad news to Su Wang this time, in case Su Guo was angry and sprinkled all the fire on himself, it would be troublesome.

Hami's deputy prime minister followed the Su Guo Colonel to Zhu Ao's side in an orderly manner, put his right hand on his chest, and according to their Hami etiquette, he bowed on his horse and said, "Hami's envoy and deputy prime minister will see His Royal Highness King Su." ”

Zhu Ao deliberately didn't look at him squarely, squinted his eyes, and asked ignorantly: "Why did the deputy prime minister come here at this time?" ”

Hami's deputy prime minister chuckled in his heart, and secretly prayed in his heart: I hope that this king Su is a reasonable person, although I am a deputy prime minister, but in the end I am also working for people, a thousand mistakes, the work is right, and finally swallowed his spit, plucked up the courage and said: "Your Royal Highness, the king of my family temporarily sent me to inform the king." Our people in Hami City have little food and few food, and we can't afford to support so many large troops, and besides, hundreds of thousands of troops entering Hami City will definitely disturb the people there. Therefore, please work a little harder and take a detour to the north. After speaking, he raised his frightened eyes and secretly looked at Zhu Ao, for fear that Zhu Ao would kill him in anger.

As soon as Hami's deputy prime minister's words came out, he immediately exploded among the senior generals near King Su, and before Zhu Ao could speak, the former general Qu Neng took the lead in scolding: "What? You're giving us a detour? At least this detour has to run more than 1,000 miles, we are here to save you, do you have such a conscience for your benefactor? ”

"yes, how much more time will it take? How much more food and grass was spent, and the fighter plane was delayed, are you responsible? General Fan Chaoxi was not to be left behind, and also pointed to the nose of Deputy Prime Minister Hami and scolded.

The military generals in the early Ming Dynasty spoke very directly, basically did not engage in any diplomatic rhetoric, and when they encountered this kind of fucking thing, they were directly scolded, and in an instant, the ancestors of the deputy prime minister of Hami were greeted by eight generations.

Hami's deputy prime minister was frightened by this group of bosses, and looked around tremblingly, for fear that one of them would not be able to hold his breath, and pulled out his knife to cut himself, after seeing that the generals did not mean to do anything, the deputy prime minister then knew that they were waiting for Zhu Ao's order, it seems that Su Guo is really serious, and no one dares to move without the king's order.

Hami's deputy prime minister quietly raised his eyes and looked at Zhu Ao, the king of Su who held the power of his life and death, to his surprise, Zhu Hao's face did not have the kind of righteous indignation he imagined, as if killing people on the street could not relieve his anger, on the contrary, it was a kind and pleasant expression.

Zhu Ao looked at Hami's deputy prime minister with a slight smile, and comforted him with a kind face: "King Hami's concerns are not unreasonable, his difficulties can be understood by this king, you go back and tell King Hami, this king agrees to his conditions." ”

"Your Highness, no!" "Your Highness, this matter is too risky, please think twice!" As soon as he heard that Zhu Ao, who was usually extremely wise, had made such a brainless decision, all the generals of Su Guo exploded, isn't this nonsense? How can there be such a war?

The deputy prime minister of the Hami army was surprised and happy, he never expected that Zhu Ao would agree so simply, it seems that it is inevitable that he will go back to add an official to the knighthood, for fear that Zhu Ao will regret it, and immediately gave him a big salute, saying: "Thank you King Su for your understanding, the lower official will go back to my king to return to my family." Your Highness is really a righteous person. ”

"Not anymore." Zhu Ao said lightly, but there was an imperceptible light in his eyes.

"The next official retired." When the deputy prime minister of the Hami army heard Zhu Ao's words, he immediately gave a salute, and then turned around and ran away, just like an old bachelor who was dozens of years old rushing into the cave room.

After the deputy prime minister of the Hami army walked away, the generals of the Su State began to surround Zhu Ao and shouted in a loud voice: "Your Highness, how can you agree to such harsh conditions?" ”

"Yes, Your Highness. The detour to the north is not only time-consuming and food-consuming, but also easy to encounter the Warat soldiers in Mobei, which will cause losses to the troops, and more importantly, the risk of doing so is too great. Qu Neng had been on the battlefield for a long time, and he saw the crisis hidden in this move at a glance, for fear that the young King Su would be deceived, so he persuaded him in a hurry.

"Oh? General Qu said, what are the risks? Zhu Ao had the intention to test the strategy of his generals, and deliberately asked as if he didn't know anything.

Qu Neng leaned forward, used his tongue to add his lips that were a little dry because he was in a hurry, and hurriedly explained to Zhu Ao: "There is a way that people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, whether King Hami really surrendered to us or not, it is difficult to say now, if we detour to the north, it is equivalent to handing over all the back roads to Hami." If the Hami king could not withstand the pressure of the Uighur army and fought against the water, then we would be attacked by the enemy on our backs, with no food and grass, no reinforcements, and no city to rely on, and we would definitely lose the battle. And once it fails, will we, the hundreds of thousands, be able to come back? I'm afraid I won't have anywhere to run. ”

"yes, yes. The former general is right, the king thinks twice, don't fall for the Hami king, he may have colluded with the Uighurs, and is waiting to lure us into the bait. ”

Seeing that Qu Neng's analysis was very reasonable, the generals were greatly impressed, and echoed the nonsense, sincerely hoping that Zhu Ao could listen to their opinions, otherwise once what Qu Neng said became a reality, then they would really not be able to come back.

"Hahahaha!" Zhu Ao suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, Qu Neng's analysis was exactly what he wanted, it seemed that his vision was good, this was a person who could be entrusted with important tasks, and said with a hint of pride and joy in his heart: "The truth that General Qu and the generals said, how can this king not know?" ”

Now it's your turn to be confused, what? Do you know, you all know that you still promised him, obsessive-compulsive? Qu Neng was even more puzzled, the generals didn't have so many twists and turns, and if they had doubts in their hearts, they would ask generously, and said, "Then why does Your Highness still agree to that envoy's request." ”

"Hmph." The corners of Zhu Ao's mouth emitted a wicked and crazy smile, and the essence in his eyes seemed to have already calculated everything, and he said confidently: "When the time comes, I can't help him." Then he clamped the horse's belly, and with a "driving" sound, he urged the war horse to gallop forward.

Two days later, in the afternoon, Hami King Nahuli received a reply from the deputy prime minister, and he was overjoyed, he never dreamed that Zhu Ao would agree to his request so happily, but at the same time, Hami King Nahuli felt a little uneasy in his heart, the so-called abnormal things must have demons, this request is not agreed to by anyone, why has Zhu Ao, who has always been shrewd, agreed to it? King Hami began to fidget again when he thought of this, all in all, he didn't see the scene of Zhu Ao leading people around the north with his own eyes, and his heart would never be put in his stomach.

Sure enough, as expected by the king of Hami, in the evening of two days later, Zhu Ao arrived at the city of Hami with an army of 110,000 Su after six days of rapid marching, and sent an envoy into the city, asking the king of Hami in the city to come out and answer. At this moment, the atmosphere in Hami City was extremely tense, and the remaining more than 20,000 soldiers all climbed to the top of the city, and many people in the city were also requisitioned, standing on the top of the city.

However, when they saw the Ming army with bright armor, full of soldiers and horses, and equipped with a large number of artillery, their hearts instantly lost their confidence, if these people attacked Hami, they were afraid that they would not be able to last long, just the rows of black cannons under the city were enough for them to drink a pot, especially the iron mortar cannon that had knocked out their royal banner, the destructive power was extremely great, and it seeped into people just by looking at it.

Hami King Nahuli saw the envoy of the Ming Dynasty, knowing that he couldn't get mixed up today, but he still wanted to fight with luck, after all, this is his fundamental interests, until the last moment, he will never give up lightly, pretending to be unhappy and said to the envoy: "Your king of Su has promised this king to want to detour north, why is he going back on his word now, and why do you want this king to go out of the city?" ”

The envoy of the Ming Dynasty looked down on this King Hami who had lost to them with an army of 40,000 to 10,000 from the bottom of his heart, and he was not polite to him at all, and reprimanded with his head held high: "There is common sense to carry soldiers on the road to the north, I am afraid that we have not been defeated by the enemy, and we will be dragged down by ourselves." How can it help you defeat the Uighurs? Now that Hami is in a critical period of survival, as a king, why not go out of the city to meet the leader of the reinforcements? If Hami dies, will the king still be the king? ”

"You ......" King Hami suddenly blew his beard and glared angrily, pointed at the messenger of the Ming Dynasty with his finger, and said tremblingly: "You are threatening this king!" Aren't you afraid that this king will make peace with the Uighurs? ”

The Ming envoy snorted coldly, obviously not frightened by his trick of scaring children, and arched his hand slightly at King Hami, which was considered a courtesy, and said slowly: "Why does the king say so ugly? In addition to guarding against the Timurid Empire in the west, the Uighurs sent an army of 150,000 troops, and they did not come to Hami to make peace. When an army of 150,000 is dispatched, you should know very well how much grain and grass will be lost. ”

The Uighurs could not find any way to recover their capital except to completely subdue Hami and enslave them for generations.

What's more, the envoys of the people were killed on their own territory, and this account has not been settled? In addition, Di Linaza is going to marry into the Su Kingdom, and the Uighur Khan's black sons of fire are even more resentful of King Hami to the core, which can be regarded as a hatred of taking his wife, if they really let the black sons of fire capture Hami, then their family is afraid that except for Di Linazha, they will be killed cleanly. And what about King Su? Although he did not dare to guarantee that he was a good person, at least for the sake of his daughter's face, there was still talk between the two sides, and there was no talk on the Uighur side.
